What term definition is an adaption toward an academic task wherein the students try to succeed; students do better when they use this orientation.
Approach Orientation
Avoidance Orientation
What term definition is an adaption toward an academic task wherein the students try not to fail?
Approach Orientation
Avoidance Orientation
What is the main reason researcher as conduct experiments?
(a)
Why do experiments support causal claims?
(a)
Which term goes with:" Determines whether manipulating the IV makes a differences; answers 1: is causal variable [IV] related to the effect variable [DV]? 2. Are distinct levels of IV associated with diffferent levels of DV
Covariance
Temporal precedence
Internal validity
What term goes with this " Ensured by the manipulation of the Independent variable"
Covariance
Temporal precedence
Internal validity
What term is goes with" Ensures that there are not alternative e explanations, such as design confounds, selection effects or order effects?
Covariance
Temporal Precedence
Internal validity
What term goes with "researchers manipulate at least one variable and measures at least one other variable."
Experiment
Manipulated
variable
measured variable
control variable
What term goes with "Independent variable; has temporal precedence [come first]; the levels of the variable define the conditions of the experiment.
Experiment
manipulated variable
Measured variable
control variable
What term goes with " Dependent variable; comes second; the focal outcome of the study.."
Experiment
Manipulated variable
Measured variable
control variable
What term goes with "any variable that an experimenter holds constant on purpose, helps improve internal validity."
Experiment
Manipulated variable
measured variable
control variable
What type of group is A level of the manipulated variable (IV) that represents "no treatment" or a neutral condition; is not always present.
control group
treatment group
Comparison group/condition
Placebo group
=What type of group is A level of the IV that we to which we compare the treatment group; often NOT control group
Control group
Treatment group
Comparison group/condition
Placebo group
What type of group is the other level of the manipulated variable [IV] that is medicated altered, or "treated".
Control group
treatment group
comparison group/ condition
placebo group
What type of group is a level for the IV that receives something seemingly like the "treatment" condition but is inert "
Control group
treatment group
Comparison group/condition
placebo group
What is a threat think: confuse to internal validity; a possible alternative explanation to a research question/experiment?
(a)
What is the term that Thought of as "researcher's mistake" in IV; The second variable that happens to vary systematically with along with the intended IV and is therefore an alternative explanation for the results.
(a)
What term definition is A precise or standardized variability across all research groups in a study; a problem for internal validity; much like selection effects
Systematic Variability
Unsystematic
Variability
What term definition is a Random or haphazard variability across all research groups in a study; not a problem for internal validity.
Systematic Variability
Unsystematic Variability
Which term definition does occur in an experiment when the kinds fo participants in one level fo the indepedent variable are systematically different from those in the other; much like systematic variability
Selection Effects
Random assignment
Matched groups
What term definition is used to avoid selection effects, and is designed to help "control" variables across all conditions
Selection effects
Random assignment
Matched groups
What term definition is the simplest type of random assignment; requires pretesting [thus more effort and time]; Chosen by researchers when seeking to match participants on a particular variable of interest.
Selection effects
Random assignment
Matched groups
What type of design is one in which different groups of participants are assigned to different levels of the Independent variable; applies to posttest-only and pretest/posttest designs?
Independent-Group
Design
Within-Groups Design
Posttest-only Design
Pretest/posttest design
Concurrent-Measures design
What type of design Participants are randomly assigned to IV group and are teted on the D once, a between-group designs
Independent-Group design
Within-Group Design
Posttest-only design
Pretest/posttest
Concurrent-measures Design
What type of design definition is one in which each participant is presented with all levels of the Independent variable; applies to concurrent measures and repeated-measures
Independent-Groups design
Within-Groups design
Posttest-only design
Pretest/Posttest design
Concurrent -measures
design
What type of design Participants are randomly assigned to at least two groups and are tested on the key DV twice; a between-groups design
Independent-Groups design
Within-Groups design
Posttest-only design
Pretest/Posttest design
Concurrent -Measures
What design term is Participants are exposed to all the levels of an Independent variable at roughly the same time, and single
attitude/behavior/belief serves as the DV; a type of within-groups design
Posttest-only design
Pretest/Posttest design
Concurrent Measures design
Repeated-measures design
What design term occur with Participants are measured on a DV more than once after, exposure to each level of the Independent variable; a type of within-group design?
Posttest -only design
Pretest/Posttest design
Concurrent-Measures design
Repeated-measures design
What are the advantages of within-group design
(a)
The ability to detect a statistically significant results when the result truly has an effect in the population.
(a)
What term is when exposures to one level of the independent variable influences responses to a subsequent level of the IV; a confound that threatens internal validity; two types: 1. practice/fatigued effects 2. carryover effects
Order effects
Practice/Fatigue effects
Carryover effects
What term effect is when participants become either 1. more skilled with a task through practice and perform better near the end, or 2. bored/fatigued with a task and perform more poorly near the end
Order effects
Practice/Fatigue Effects
Carryover effects
What term effect is when participants have some form of "contamination" that spills over from a previous condition [IV].
Order effect
Practice/Fatigue effects
Carryover effects
What term is when researchers present the levels of the IV to participants in different orders, to cancel our order effects.
Counterbalancing
Full counterbalancing
Partial counterbalancing
What term is when all possible conditions are represented.
Counterbalancing
Full Counterbalancing
Partial counterbalancing
What term is when only some possible conditions order are represented; one technique for this is to present conditions in randomized order, another technique for this Latin square [ when on computer is avilable]
Counterbalancing
Full Counterbalancing
Partial Counterbalancing
What term definition is An experiments has these when it contains cues that lead the participants to guess the hypothesis [ and thereby may change their behavior because they believe they are expected to act that]
Demand Characteristics [aka experimental Demand]
Manipulation checks
Pilot Studies
What term definition is an extra DV used to ensure that the experimental manipulation worked correctly.
Demand Characteristics
Manipulation checks
Pilot Studies
What term definition is A simple study, also used to ensure that a manipulation i successful by using a separate group of participants.
